Hello Families,

Just a few notes about what is going on in class this week:
SOCIAL STUDIES - We started labeling the countries in Latin America today and will label the physical features tomorrow. There will be a TEST on these maps Monday, January 11. Following our map work, the students will complete research projects on assigned countries.

ENGLISH/LANGUAGE ARTS - We read Chapter 1 of Hatchet in class today. Tomorrow we will complete an analysis of this chapter (plot, setting, character traits, etc) and begin reading Chapter 2.

Homework: 1) Return conference forms and 2) complete any Latin America map work not finished in class.

Announcements:
1. There will be a parent information session on the GMAS assessment this Thursday, Jan. 7 at 5:30 in the MPR.
2. The Chatham County magnet school EXPO will be held this Saturday, Jan. 9 from 9 -3 at the Savannah Mall.

Resource: A great website for reading non-fiction is www.newsela.com. This site has news articles about a wide variety of topics and you can choose articles based on your child's Lexile score. Our class code is 827EV7.

We are already off to a fabulous and productive start to the new year!
